Recently the world has witnessed a Covid-19 pandemic that strikes every nation in the world. It made the governments realise the importance of a robust healthcare system.
This year World Health Organisation has asked some questions on World Health Day.
“Are we able to reimagine a world where clean air, water and food are available to all?
Where economies are focused on health and well-being?
Where cities are liveable and people have control over their health and the health of the planet?”
According to WHO, health is fundamental to human happiness and well being. It
contributes to economic advancement because healthy people live longer and are more productive.
WHO estimates that more than 13 million deaths around the world each year are due to avoidable environmental causes. This includes the climate crisis which is the single biggest health threat facing humanity.
We have to become aware of a simple common point that is, the climate crisis is also a health crisis. We cannot live in isolation or detach from the environment. While individually, people cannot do much to reverse the climatic condition but they can put a great impact by adopting a healthy lifestyle and keeping their health in check.
